Selection of land: - Grass can be cultivated in almost all the land. The grass grows well in the high, low-lying, sloping ground, and gives good yield. Since grass can tolerate water logging so that the grass can be cultivated at the places where the ponds, canals and embankments are located.
Planting Time: Suitable time for cultivation of grass in Ashwin from Baishakh.
Planting distance: - Rows from rows and trees 1.1.5 feet from the trees.
Dynasty - Cutting grass or cutting of grass can be spread on the ground.
Planting: Cutting is done with three git for less than mature plants.
Amount of Charter - Planting depends on planting and distance. Planting at 1.0X1.5 feet distance requires about 20,000 cutting acre.
Method of planting: - In plain dry land, first weeding 4/5 cultivation and ladder should be cleaned. After this, it is necessary to plant 3/4 cuttings per hole in a certain distance. Without a cutting, the entire creeper can be planted. In this method, the spine will have a slight hole in the distance of 1-1.5 feet. Then put 3/4 threads together and put the soil well in the hole first. Then the soil of the clay should be pressed on the holes next to the holes. Thus, all the grasslands must be planted in the fields.

Uncomfortable / sloping land: In the rough and sloping lands, such as roads, embankments and ponds, on the slopes of the pond, the weeds should be cleaned and digged thoroughly by digging dung and TSP filling in every hole.
Fertilizer application: - Applying fertilizer to the grassland provides good yield. Grass can grow rapidly growing grass and many times a year. So the demand for fertilizer in the grass first is nitrogen (urea fertilizer). When the grass is planted in plain cultivable land, then 35 kg of urea per acre during the cultivation and every 35 kg urea per acre after cutting the grass.
Grass Cutting: Grass can be cut for the first time after about 60-70 days after planting the soil. Grass can be cut after 4/5 weeks from May to September. The grass is cut from 4/5 inches to the ground.
Yield: Because the grass is growing rapidly, the average green gram of 25-30 tons per acre is available per year.
Save: - Sun drying in the sun.
